Bing has replaced MSN - Hope the Keyword Tracker is updated

Microsoft made bing.com available to everyone. After a quick look it appears that their results are better than Live/MSN ever was. Unfortunately, the MSN results stopped working on the Keyword Tracker.

Does anyone know if the tracker will be updated?

 

what?! how did it stop working?

 

All my MSN rankings now show N/A

 

Same here and I also hope Shawn will make necessary adjustments as this tool is still the best in it's field.

 

agreed -- I love this tool and hope it will be adjusted to track Bing rankings

 

Should I give up on ever seeing changes to the DP tracker?

 

It is a little sad to lose MSN or Bing rankings, but since
my referrals from Bing are sandwiched between Google India
and Google Australia it isn't going to affect my business
decision making any.

Same here, my MSN rankings havent worked for a few weeks actually.
Google analytics now lists Bing instead of MSN.

 

In the DigitalPoint options you can specify the name of a script on your own server that can be accessed to include MSN and Yahoo results. You can make a change to this script and Bing should start providing rankings.

Look for this line in the script:

$data = get_page ('search.msn.com', '/results.aspx?q=' . urlencode ($_REQUEST['q']) . '&first=' . $start . '&count=10&format=rss');

Code (markup):

and replace 'search.msn.com' with 'www.bing.com' (NB: the www. is important). This works for me.

Good luck.

 

Yes Me also using the same method to resolve it.

 

I was really inspired for a bit. Unfortunately, the solution did not work for me.

 

Same here maybe soon it will be update

 

i have also read somewhere that bing is going to revolutionise the search industry, but so far havent heard anything outstanding from them, what do you guys feel how is it? is out good old google better, ot we shift to Bing?

 

bing better msn

 

this did not work for me. is the bing search currently working?

 

Thanks Northof60 and Rebafc

I summarized the change required on my blog. See fix for the DP Keyword Tracker to handle Bing searches.

 

in ecommerce the traffic is roughly 18% from yahoo, and 10% from google. Bing is definately sharing 30% of ALL search traffic with yahoo. These are the numbers i'm seeing, anyone else verify or dispute?

 

That fix works great, thanks!
One point though:

If you're copy and pasting the code, make sure you change the curly apostrophes to straight ones, or else it won't work.
EG
change this : ’
to this: '

Small difference, but significant!
